For those who will visit Mainland China in the future, here are the requirements needed by their consulate/embassy:
* Certificate of Employment
* ITR
* Company ID
* SSS ID
* TIN ID
* Invitation or Sponsorhsip Letter from a friend or relative working in China
* Bank Certificate
* Valid Passport
* Roundtrip Air Fare Ticket
* Application Form
* ID picture (either 2x2 or passport size)
The requirements I mentioned above are based on first-timers like me.
On my case, I don't have SSS ID thus they suggest that I present them with my E1 form or SSS Contributions. I also don't have a TIN ID thus they asked me for an ITR.
Next week, I will be accomplishing the ITR and the bank certificate. It seems that even though you have a relative working in China, you still need to present them a bank certificate. It's either you present them your bank certificate or your sponsor does.
This time I decided to go through an agency to process my Chinese Tourist Visa application since I don't have enough time to go to their embassy and fall in line. I just hope that the documents I will present them are enough to grant me a single-entry visa.
Fingers cross!
